AsIAm Life, based in Sunnyvale, California, has announced that the Agile Inspirations Planning Poker Cards for Estimation that they are offering on Amazon are receiving rave reviews from people who have used them. These cards can be obtained through Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZYLFJDW. These cards have been provided with color and design that make it easy for users to estimate while having fun doing it. The primary purpose of the game is to stimulate conversation among team members regarding user stories and reach a consensus on sizing. These cards have also been designed to be sturdy to allow them to be used for many planning sessions.
One pack of the Agile Planning Cards contains one deck that has six sets of cards, to be used for estimating with up to six team members. This is also available in 2 packs, which provide two decks of cards and therefore, 12 sets of cards to allow 12 employees to participate. With regards to using the Agile Planning Cards, estimating starts with each Agile team member holding a set of Agile Planning Cards. Then the product owner describes one user story and its various features. The team members will then discuss it and ask questions if necessary. Next, each team member privately chooses one card that indicates his or her estimate. If there is a consensus, that is the estimate for the team. If there is no consensus, steps 3 to 5 are repeated until a consensus is reached. These steps are repeated for every story. More information regarding Agile Inspirations can be gleaned by following their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/agileinspirations/.
Whether it is the 1 pack or 2 pack version, customers have been providing highly positive feedback for the Agile Planning Cards. For instance for the 1 pack version, Tyler R. had given the cards a 5 star rating and said, “I bought these to try and help my team perform a little better with the agile process. Works as expected and really works with the kanban process we've settled with here at work! If an agile process is something you are looking for in your work environment, this is a great way to discuss task effort... It allows for tasks to enter a very open discussion between the team and has for us helped us find pain points and user stories at risk.” For the 2 pack version, Corey J. also provided the cards with a 5 star rating and said, “Very prompt, efficient service. Good as advertised. Highly recommended.”
It should also be noted that Agile Inspirations also provides articles about the Agile team. For example, one article focuses on how to facilitate an Agile working session. This considers the use of concepts from Scrum to establish a truly engaging and effective session. It offers a number of tips and guidelines for running a working session using the Agile process.
And in relation to the Agile Planning Cards, they have also published an article on Agile estimation and some estimation strategies. What makes this estimation essential is that in any project, making an estimate can help in deciding when to make trade-offs and set goals. Two types of estimation can be used and these are time estimation and relative estimation, which is also known as affinity estimation. The role of the Agile Planning Cards is to help make estimation easier and even make it a fun activity for the team members.
Meanwhile, Agile Inspirations also offers Appreciation Cards with Lapel Pin. This contains a set of five Greeting Cards with Lapel Pins and they are for expressing appreciation and gratitude to a person who has made a significant contribution. This contribution could have occurred at church, work, school, an event, an organization, a sports game, or in the home. There are greeting cards for Teamwork, Above & Beyond, Innovation, Customer Focus, and Leadership.
